	 * Marker interface for model classes. 
	 * 
	 * The model contains the application data (state information) and the logic 
	 * to manipulate that data. The application logic performs two tasks: 
	 * it responds to requests for information about the state and takes action
	 * on requests to change the state.
	 * 
	 * The model has no dependencies on the views or the controllers, but simply
	 * encapsulates the data access layer. It uses the observer pattern to
	 * notify the interested controllers of the changes happening in the model.
